Swat to Riyadh, and a lot of migrations in between.

I started writing web software in 2017 and never really left the deep end of it. Seven years later, most of my work sits inside systems businesses depend on every day — ERPs, SaaS platforms, commerce, field apps.

What I enjoy most is being the person who can take a vague business problem, design the schema, build the backend, ship the interface, deploy it and then keep it healthy. I have done that solo on a full ERP, and as a team lead with people depending on my reviews. Both taught me the same thing: clarity beats cleverness.

Most recently that has meant AI engineering: not bolting a chat box onto a product, but designing the layers that make a language model useful inside a business — domain agents with their own tools and permissions, an orchestration layer that plans across departments, human approval on anything that writes, and realtime voice on the same governed path. I do not train models; I build the architecture that turns them into software people can trust with real operations.

Outside the editor: workouts, cricket, and reading about whatever is about to change how we build. I am a gold medallist in Computer Science from the University of Swat, registered with the Saudi Council of Engineers, and I work in English, Urdu, Pashto and conversational Arabic.
